Not yet convinced by this category : too early to judge and I'd rather see a 2kb compo coming from 4kb than a 8kb. But since this entry understood how to handle the extra 4kb with graphical content instead of doing a long 4kb as sought by the organizers it's still a (weak) thumb up.

Exactly what i thought everyone would do with the extra-space, textures and more post-fx.
I myself didnt finish my entry in time once again, but used my textures for sth completely different...will try to get it done (in 8k) and deliver at evoke into 64k-compo...then you´ll see what i meant, nothing special tho, just different. Post-fx-wise i also added DoF...i even made it that small in the end, i´ll use it in future-4ks aswell! :)
Concept-wise i would have wished for you using the Bump only towards the end to let everything rust and also slow down (until full stop) every motion while rusting...maybe that was your intention, but then you didnt serve it well.
Soundtrack fitted it all the way.
Worthy Winner!
